Concrete action tending to thwart what
they regard as an effort of the "Cathollo"
faction of the Episcopal Church to encroach
upon the ritual or government of that com
munion at the general convention at St.
Louis next fait Is likely to result from a
meeting of tho dlocctsan branch of tho
Church League held In Holy Trinity Parish
Itouse.
About 300 members of tho clergy and
laity, representing some BO parishes In the
Dlocesa of Pennsylvania, attended tho meet
ing, which was opened by the llev. Dr.
Floyd W. Tomklns, who Introduced tho
iiov. wewciiyn w. caiey, rector of St. Judo
Nativity Church as presiding officer.
Chief among the prospoctlxo actions con
sidered were the alleged pinna for tho re
ly, via tha platform of Sterling Principle
to be enunciated hero today or tomorrdw,
albeit the enunciation Is likely to bo some
what susurrated. provided the Hon. Will
iam Joel Stone reads It In his capacity as
chairman of the committee, for tho honor
able TVllllam whispers all his enunciation.
PLAJf ADEQUATE REFUGE.
Still tho platform, as the convention will
assort, will speak- for Itself.
To the end of making It easy for Progres
sives to flnd a sheltering and sheltered re
treat the platform was constructed to meet
aa many of their well-known principles as
possible. Of course, there will not be any
thing In It about the Inltlattvo and refer
endum nor the recall of Judges nor much
about social Justice, but any Pro-mssrve
who has not too much of a grouch on tne
existing order will find ndequato refuge In
the tonenis to be proclaimed, so the Dem
ocrats think, and so the Resolutions Com
urttteo labored last night to make m-re.
CHANKISStS AND CROTCHETS.
There was nmple data on hand when the
committee met to furnish guidance for Its
deliberations. Secretary Newton Baker did
not pack that big suitcase for nothing all
the way from Washington. Furthermore,
tho oomrrtltteq waa submerged with all sorts
of outside suggestions and demands. These
came from all quarters, and embraced
every kind of cranklsms and crotchets, from
the benefit! to be derived by the public at
largo by the exclusive use of brands a
food to a proposed plank declaring It to
be the sense of tha Democratic party that
this country's appropriations and finances
should be conducted on the budget system,
which suggestion, caused John J. Fitzgerald.
New York's member of the committee and
chairman of the Appropriations Committee
of the House of Representatives, to emit
loud Bhrieks of agonized protest.
After the grain had been winnowed out,
what follows waa substantially tho re-
, suit. I malio no attempt to give the exact
words, but In Its Important paragraphs the
r platform,, stands for these things:
It la very strong on our foreign policy;
puts real patriotism as the first requisite
for exalted government and true natlonal-
Ism, and goes specifically after hyphenates
and thelc Insidious antl-Amerlcanlsm. It
denounces any foreltm Power that seeks
to control the policies of the United States
by moans of the machinations of citizens
of that country temporarily sojourning in
the United States
MEXICAN MUDDLE.
Mexico Is not mentioned specifically, but
the platform demands for small govern
ments the right to conduct 'and regulate
their own internal affairs to suit them
selves, which Is the Administration way
of answering critics of Wilson's American
policy.
It asserts that when the present legisla
tive program of the Administration has
been completed by the Congress there will
ba enough remedial laws, and says the
country 'shall be given an opportunity to
rest and recuperate.
A Tariff Committee advocated, and an
anti-dumping clause. The platform de
mands a navy strong enough to prevent ag
gressive attacks by sea, and strong enough
to enforce the Monroe Doctrine, which
means a very strong navy.

that he was obliged to oppose tho work of

"tho low churchmon should do their ut
most to provent tho now-bigoted medieval
party from dictating what wo shall bo

Ho disavowed objection to the "Catholic"
position as one of tho elements of tho
Church. His real objection came, ho said,
"whon representatives of this position show
a desire to consider themselves the whole
Church and to presumo to say thoy repre

"The tendency to unchurch loyal church

An army is advocated that shall be

a glimmer of hope when they called on

"He showed them how they could got rid

reduced his dose by a quarter of a grain.

Then tho Government stepped In and car
ried Doctor Holcomb off to Jail. O'Grady
(slipped back Into the old pit of despair and
blackness. His hope was snuffed out as
a candle Is put out by tho wind. Look at
him, Jurors, and note his condition. Who
knows he might today be a well man If he

CURING NOT A CRIME.
"It Is not a crime for a physician to try
to cure his patients of the drug habit.
Hero is this physician today without a dolf

his counsel fees. Gentlemen of the Jury,
If you have red blood In your veins you will
send this man back to his old mother, who
sits crying there back In the courtroom!"
FEW DRY EYES.
There was hardly a dry eye In the court
room when Mr. Scott finished his plea.
Drug victims squirmed uneasily in their
seats. Some of them seemed for the mo
ment to realize the horror of the habit
that gripped them. When Mr, Scott asked
the Jurors to send Doctor Holcomb back to
his mother Mrs. Holcomb sobbed as If her
heart would break, and a look of misery
overspread the face of Doctor Holcomb. The
case will go to the Jury this afternoon.
DRUG PURCHASES SHOWN.
.A bench warrant for the apprehension of
J. S. Relce, of 919 Glrard avenue, was Issued
this morning by Judge Thompson because
the latter failed to appear with records
showing the quantity of cocaine purchased
by Doctor Jfoicomo.
Later Charles Lewis, a clerk In. the Relce

other clerk had told him that Mr. Relce
was spending the day at his country home
In Pleasantvllle, N, J. Lewis had hardly
finished his testimony when a letter from
Relce was handed to the District Attorney.
The letter contained the records desired
by the Government. The records showed
that the following amounts of drugs had
been purchased from the Relce drug store
from January 1 to March 25; Morphine.
10,4(3 grains; heroin, 6080 grains; cocaine,

ST. LOUIS, June IB Tho address of
Olllo M Jamos, United States Senator from
Kentucky, delivered upon taking tho per
manent chairmanship of the Democratic Na
tional Contention today, was In part as
follows:
Mr. Chairman, Fclow Democrats, Ladles
nnd Gentlemen 1 greet my Democratic
brethren of tho republic, tho representatives
of a proud, victorious nnd unconquerable
Democracy a Democracy whose life,
achlevemonts and history challenge tho
admiration of the world We cheerfully
meet face to face tho public we have not
betrayed to point with delight to a match
loss record of promises wo hato kept.
During threo years of Its natonnl control
Democracy has enacted Into law moro pro
gressive remedial legislation than tho nation
has cer had written upon It11 statute books
slnco Its birth In former national con
tests In tho Inst two decades our party
came as a prophet. Wo could only point
out wrongs and promise remedies; but to
day wo como with deeds, not words; with
performance, not promise Our deeds In
the nation have been greater than our
words upon the hustings; our performance
as the lawmaker greater than our promise
an the campaigner. In other words, the
Democratic party has kept Its word with the
American people Wo have made good. Wo
have by our conduct of the affairs of this
nation deserved tho renewed confidence of
Its people by proving worthy of the con
fidence once bestowed
The Democratic party rejoices that under
this administration for the first time Hlnco
the Civil War It was enabled to amand
the Constitution of the United States In thn
Interest of good government and tho masses
of the people, We freed the Senate from
the control of the great Interests by making
It elective by the people at the polls. We
wrote Into the Constitution Itself an amend
mont. susceptible of no dispute, that wealth
should bear Its proper burden of tho tqxa-
mm necessary 10 run tne Government effi
ciently, economically and honestly.
PERNICIOUS LOBBY OUSTED.
President Wilson drove Invisible govern
ment out of Washington and uncovered the
mightiest lobby that eter ramified n re
public or had Its rendezvous In Its capital
He drove the lobbyist out; he turned the
American people In.

ST. tKJUIS, June XS. Most of the early

At 10. 1 J, only 45 minutes before re
convening not a delegate was seated and
only a. corporal's guard was la the balcony.
But this did not deter the big band in the
balcony, which kept on playing- a medley of
popular airs.
The first lone delegate strolled into the

The congestion In the aisles was worse'
man yesterday, and the patience of the
police and ushers was sorely taxed by the
perspiring men and women who insisted on
standing still and talking Instead of taking
their seats.
The playing of "The Star-Spangled Ban.

the crowd, which had begun to grow Im
patient at the delay. The band then struck
up "Dixie," and thU brought forth even
louder cheering.

THE TARIFF.
The Democratic party undertook to enact

tion can only exist for the purpose of
raising sufficient revenue to run the
Government. Taxntlon never did justly
exist and never will In a free government
for the purpose of enriching one class at
the expense of all the rest of tho people.
We undertook the reformation of the tariff
with open minds and clean hands, un
owned, unpledged to any Interest except
that of the publla welfare, and we are
proud of our achievement In writing into
law the present Underwood-Simmons tariff
bill Not a schedule In It fosters a mo

FEDERAL RESERVE LAW.
Would our Republican opponents repeal
the present Federal reserve law that
emancipated the credit of a nation; that
made the credit of the country to run In
life-giving currents through the avenues
of business? Under the old system a few
men could create a panic, as the whole
nation witnessed In 1907, when all tho
world was at peaca and enjoying unusual
prosperity.
WE ARE ALL AMERICANS
We are all Americans no matter whence
we como, We love our country because 1(
makes us free. The beauty of the oceans
that wash our shores, our fertile plains,
our lofty mountains, our winding rivers,
our unequaled landscapes, can only be en
Joyed in their real and matchless beauty
through the eyes of a freeman. More beauti

Is the glory of tha Government. The hum
blest may become the greatest, the weak

may become the richest; here no taint of

as much the 'right of the one who comes

glad of It and happy to offer this oppor

PREPAREDNESS FOR SELF-DEFENSE.
In 1906 I attended the great Pence Con

In different Innguages, but nil spoke the
langurigo of peace. I thought thnt the mil

the world's war was Impossible; but the
day when tho Christian heart shall rule
tho world nnd when nence Rhnll relen nvor
tho land Is not here, and unhappily Is not
In sight. Self-defense and preparation for It
Is ur nocessary now as eer before. We
must not mlstako dishonor for peace, ns
we cannot mlstako oppression for peace.
All governments love peace-t-peace with
freedom, pence with honor. 'Without these
nil Is slavery beside Woodrow Wilson and

We do not want a foot of anybody else's

INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS.
No President during the life of this
Republic has ever had to deal with bo many
delicate and dangerous problems as those
which have confronted President Wilson
during the last two years of his Incumbency
In office. With more than half of the
world In arms In Europe, with Mexico in
revolution at our border, these difficult and
complicated International problem have
confronted him almost dally, and he has
handled them as becomes a patriot and
statesman. When the Lusltanla waa sunk
the militant voice of Theodore Roosevelt
cried out for war, and If he had been Preal
dent of the United States at that time, today
500,000 American sons would be contending
around the forts of Verdun in this mighty
maelstrom of blood -thousands would have
been burled In the ditches. Our President
patient, patriotic, far-sighted, the real
statesman handled this question with the
greatest ability and won for America Its
greatest diplomatic victory.
Some gentlemen In Congress undertook to

DEFEAT OF SHIPPING BILL.
Tho Republican party defeated by fili
buster tho shipping bill proposed by tho
Democratic party, which, If It had been en
acted, would have made Impossible the
more than 200 miles of railroad sidetracks
crowded by the products of the American
factory and tho American farm by enabling
us to get shipments abroad, and we would
by this tlmo have been enabled to hao a
merchant marine to take tho products of
the field and tho factory and the mines to
tho hungry markets of Europe. They offer
to the United States the often nrooosed and
always defeated subsidy to the ship owners
to bo paid out of the Treasury of the people
of the United States. This time they call
It by tho name of subvention, but It means,
of course, tho taking of the people's money
to enrich a few men.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The Republican party, seeking some Issue,
just any Issue upon which to hang the
slightest hope of returning to power. Is
driven to the necessity of denouncing in Its
own platform, adopted at Chicago, the vote
of a majority of its own members In the
House and Senate upon virtually nil of the
reform measures thaf have been written
Into law by tho Democrntlo party. They
declare we "favor an effective system of
rural credits as opposed to the Ineffective
law proposed by the present Democratic
Administration," By this declaration thev
charge virtually every Republican In the
Senate and almost every Republican In the
House with having voted for an Ineffective
rurnl credit law.
With critics all about him, with patience
and strength and great foresight, Woodrow
Wilson has kept a nation at peace with
honor. He has driven from the control of
the finances of the people of this nation an
oligarchy of wealth and substitute,- in it.

Palmer, Administration leader and a mem
ber of the subcommlttoo on resolutions,
into whoso hands President Wilson has
placed the final work of drafting the plat
form, was authority today for tho state
ment that the Administration will deal
with tho pacifists on a "fifty-fifty" basis.
The Administration will straddle tho Issue.
In other words, ex-Governor Glynn's speech,
tho keynote of the convention, flattered the
"peaco 'at any price" advocates. Palmer
today said that the foreign-policy plank In
tho platform, however, would be far from
"peaco at any price," although ho added
the entire cotintry Is "becoming Quaker."
"I'vo heard the same kind of speeches
at Quaker meetings," said Palmer, discuss
ing Glynn's speech.
"The neonle want that, thnmrh. Th
'whole country Is becoming Quaker In Its
attitude toward war.
"Did Governor Glynn's speech Indicate
how the platform would deal with pacifi
cism?" ho was asked.
"It did not. Governor Glynn may havo
gone too far toward pleasing the pacifists,
but the platform will not. You will not
find any 'peace at any price' In the platform."
